creating RF program and barcode scan problem

[Micro]

Hi all,

I have a problem with creating a RF program.
Does anyone know about barcode scanning and automatically enter in the RF program?

In our program, we fill input fields with barcode scanning and
after scanning ,execute enter automatically so that user don't need to push buttons for enter.
We already set automatic enter in RF device, but it doesn't work in our RF program and standard WM transactions.

When we execute same program on Desktop computer with I.E 6, the program works automatically after scanning.

Is it impossible to execute automatically after scanning with RF device? Or is there any special consideration ?

Thanks and regards,
Micro

Hi Micro,

We had similiar requirement and programmed scanners to send 'enter' (or any other key). But to be able to create bookings (or confirmations...), we had to use own transactions, which start immediately after entering the number and pressing enter.
Normal SAP-transactions expect much more input (more values), before you can press save - so normal WM was no help.

As long as our scanners entered only a number (according to the scanned barcode) and a function key (like 'enter'), behavior of our transactions was quite easy to test. Just typing some numbers and pressing enter... and if your program doesn't work in correct ways: debugging!

Hello Micro,

I do have a similar problem with the cursor control on a RF device. I do have this logic built in SAP and everything works well even when entering the input fields manually on the RF device. However, things change when scanning the required information.

The problem we have here is with the "auto-enter" configuration on the RF device. We use the Symbol PDT 6842 devices, purchased old, with no waranty, software or manuals. Could you please guide me on the right direction and tell me how could I configure the "auto-enter" on a Symbol device?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
